  • Patent number: 9651577
    Abstract: A pogo pin may include a housing, a resilient connecting member and a switching unit. The housing may be arranged between a printed circuit board (PCB) and a probing head. The resilient connecting member may be arranged in the housing to electrically connect the PCB with the probing head. The switching unit may be provided in the housing to selectively cut off an electrical connection between the PCB and the probing head. Thus, because the PCB may not require additional switching substrates, the PCB may have a small size so that the probe card may also have a small size. A semiconductor device may be manufactured using the probe card.

  • Patent number: 7616176
    Abstract: A plasma display and driving method thereof. A median electrode is formed between X and Y electrodes for receiving sustain pulse voltages, and a reset waveform and a scan pulse voltage are applied to the median electrode. A short gap discharge is performed between the X electrode and the median electrode during the initial interval of a sustain interval, and a long gap discharge is performed between the X and Y electrodes during the normal sustain interval to thus perform a stable discharge. The X and Y electrode drivers are realized through comparable circuits since the waveforms applied to the X and Y electrodes are substantially symmetric.

  • Patent number: 7592978
    Abstract: A method for driving a plasma display panel (PDP) and for safely erasing wall charges in an erase period. The PDP includes a middle (M) electrode formed between an X electrode and a Y electrode. A sustain discharge pulse voltage is periodically applied to the X electrode and the Y electrode in a pulse train fashion. In addition, a reset waveform, a scan pulse voltage, and a sustain discharge voltage are applied to the middle electrode. Moreover, to prevent a strong discharge, an erase waveform is applied to the M electrode in the erase period while the X and Y electrodes are biased with the same voltage level. Alternatively, to prevent a strong discharge, an erase waveform (a gradually rising waveform) is applied to the X electrode in the erase period while the M and Y electrodes are biased with the same voltage level (a ground voltage).
